Register Your Warranty With GAF
Registration happens on GAF’s own site, not ours. You will need your address, the installation date, and the shingle line we installed — all of which are on the paperwork we left with you.
Why Registration Is Not Just Paperwork
An unregistered warranty is considerably harder to claim on. Years later, when a problem appears, the burden falls on you to prove what was installed, when, and by whom. A registered warranty already has all of that on file with GAF.
It also matters when you sell. Several GAF warranties are transferable to the next owner, which is a genuine selling point — but only if the warranty was registered in the first place.
What the 50-Year Lifetime Warranty Covers
GAF’s lifetime warranties cover manufacturing defects in the shingles for as long as you own the home, with a non-prorated period at the start during which coverage is at its strongest.
What a standard material warranty does not cover is installation. If the nails went in above the nailing zone, the flashing was reused, or the ventilation was wrong, the shingles are not defective — the workmanship is. That is how the overwhelming majority of roofs actually fail.
The Warranty Only Master Elite Contractors Can Write
Because we are GAF Master Elite — a certification GAF caps by area — we can offer the Golden Pledge, the only GAF warranty covering workmanship as well as materials, and backed by GAF rather than by us.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. If a contractor goes out of business, a workmanship warranty written by that contractor is worth nothing. One written by GAF is not.
On top of GAF’s coverage we carry our own 100% satisfaction guarantee on the work we do.
If Something Goes Wrong
Call us first at (877) 521-7171. Most issues on a roof we installed are workmanship questions we can resolve directly, often faster than a warranty claim would move.
If it is a genuine material defect, we help you file with GAF and provide the installation documentation from our records. Either way, start with the phone call.
